The "National Geographic" published an article about global warming. This particular article examines some solutions of this nature's global problem. The author of article, considering an emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) as the main reason of global warming, speaks about stabilization GHG concetrations. The author, refering to the IPCC's dates, emphasizes that people have to reduce GHG emissions by 50 % that means they are on track to be in the next century to reach this level.

Speaking about concrete solutions of this problem, it is necessary to note that everyone can help. Thus, researchers Stephen Pacala and Pobert Socolow from Princeton University have suggested one approach that they call "stabilization wedges". This means reducing GHG emissions from a variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades, rather than relying on an enormous change in a single area.

Other possible solutions that are mentioned by author include improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increases in wind and solar power, hydrogen produced renewable sources, biofuels produced from crops, natural gas and nuclear power.

It was also revealed that in addition to reducing the gases which are emited to the atmosphere, people can also increase the amount of gases they take out of the atmosphere. Plants and trees absorb CO2 as they grow and sequester carbon naturally. Increasing forestlands and making changes to the way people farm could increase the amount of carbon.

In conclusion the author assumes that some of these technologies have drawbacks. But he also expresses the view that all these methods together with joint efforts can put the humanity on a parth toward a stable climate.

As for me, I suppose author's point of view. Only common human efforts make climate and envirenment in whole better.

  1. Fair!
    There is no proper introduction of the article, which is to include the headline, time and place of publication, the athor's name.
    Slips:
    ... solution TO this global ENVIRONMENTAL problem...
    The author of THE article, considering THE EMISSION OF greenhouse gases (GHGs) as the main reason of THE global warming, speaks about THE stabilization OF GHG concetrations ...
    ETC
    I SUPPORT the author's point of view.
    Mind the articles!
